Quotes

Sweeney Todd: You have a room over the shop, don't you? If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out?

Mrs. Lovett: People think it's haunted.

Sweeney Todd: Haunted?

Mrs. Lovett: Yeah. And who's to say they're wrong? You see, years ago, something happened up there. Something not very nice.

Trivia

During its first month of production in London, Johnny Depp had to take a ten-day leave of absence when his daughter, Lily-Rose, was rushed to a hospital due to a severe illness (which was never disclosed by the media). To accommodate his absence, director Tim Burton filmed scenes that didn't feature Depp's character. See more...

Mistake Other: Based on the location of the barber's chair with the picture window in Todd's barber shop and the layout of the exterior of the building, there is no possible way that the chute behind the chair would be able to dump the bodies directly into the basement without going through the center of Ms. Lovett's shop.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Todd attacks Pirelli with the teakettle, he first swings it from the right to left, then you see Todd for a split second swing it in a downward motion, but Pirelli's head moves up as if Todd just swung it in an uppercut motion.

Mistake Continuity: Pirelli throws his cape and it leans smooothly on the seating part. From the wide angle, half a secnd later, it is wrinkled on the seating part.

Mistake Continuity: The blood on the window, when Sweeney kills Turpin, keeps appearing and disappearing all the time.

Mistake Continuity: While Sweeney is upstairs with Pirelli, Mrs. Lovett gives Toby a meatpie downstairs. On a closeup, half the pie is gone, but when the shot widens right after, only a couple nibbles are gone from the cake.

Mistake Continuity: When Todd is first shaving Judge Turpin, he places the barber's brush in the shaving mug twice - once before he turns away from the barber's chair, and again in the next scene as we see him move toward the camera.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Mrs. Lovett has given Sweeney a glass of gin (when they are deciding what to do with the bodies) he takes a large swig and another smaller one and the gin is nearly gone. When it cuts away to Mrs. Lovett and back to Sweeney, the glass is full again and there was no sound of another glass being poured.

Mistake Continuity: Nearing the end of the song "Pretty Women," Sweeney is bringing his razor closer and closer to the Judge's neck (right around the line "proof of heaven as you're living"). At one point, he brings the razor right up against to the Judge's neck. In the next shot, the razor is a few inches away from the neck. In the shot following that, the razor is back up against the skin.

Mistake Continuity: While Anthony sings "I feel you", the passersby behind have no continuity whatsoever.

Mistake Continuity: During "The worst pies in London scene" the wooden rolling pin keeps moving around between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Anthony first arrives at Judge Turpin's house, he sits on the bench across the street. This bench is positioned on the sidewalk between the iron gate's two large stone pillars. During this scene, the position of the actual bench changes, moving noticeably closer to either the left or right pillar, depending on the given camera angle.

Mistake Continuity: In the final scene, after Toby has slit Sweeney's throat just before the camera angle changes to show the last 5 or 10 seconds before it fades to black you see Sweeney holding Lucy, behind them is Turpin's corpse as well. He is noticeably right behind them in that shot. However when the angle changes for the final shot Sweeney and Lucy appear to be entirely alone in the room. This is directly contrary to the previous shot because Turpin was right behind them and would logically be seen in the next shot.

Mistake Continuity: While Pirelli sings "He take the", after a shot on Sweeney's blade, Pirelli's hand swaps from being on the man's forehead to the chin.

Mistake Continuity: When Sweeney is showing Mrs. Lovett the razors right before they start singing, he pulls one out and opens it out straight. He stands up and the blade is still straight. It cuts to a closer shot, and the razor is at a noticeably different angle, then it goes back out to a full shot and the razor is straight out again.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the "I feel yuo" scene, Anthony walks with his face covered in blood. The hair around his forehead covers at first, and suddenly it doesn't.

Mistake Continuity: Toby is introducing Pirelli and his fringe and hair around the ears keeps changing style all the time.

Mistake Continuity: The way Toby holds the elixir bottle while the baldie is rubbing it on his head changes in a split second from angle to angle.

Mistake Continuity: During the "Worst pies in London" song, Mrs. Lovett drips the pie filling into the crust, and it fills the crust up to a bit over the top. In another shot, she rolls on the pie top, but the filling is much less than before, not even to the top of the crust.

Mistake Continuity: When Sweeney kills Turpin, his forehead is covered in blood. Half a second later there's just a tiny spot.

Mistake Continuity: While Sweeney sings "I'll Never See Johanna," Ms. Lovett is sitting on the chair with him behind. In the close-ups, they're close together; in the wide angles there's a big space between them.
